第五章 六、要論
心與意合，意與氣合，氣與力合，內三合也，手與足合，肘與膝合，肩與胯合，外三合也，此為六合，左手與右足相合，左肘與右膝相合，左肩與右胯相合，右之與左以然，以及頭與手合，手與身合，身與步合，孰非外合，心與眼合，肝與筋合，脾與肉合，肺與身合，腎與骨合，孰非內合，豈但六合而已哉，然此特分而言之也，總之一運而無不動，一合而無不合，五形百骸，悉用其中矣。

"Mind is united with intent, intent united with energy, energy united with power – these are the three internal unions. Hand is united with foot, elbow united with knee, shoulder united with hip – these are the three external unions. These together are the six unions.
Left hand is united with right foot, left elbow united with right knee, left shoulder united with right hip – likewise with left and right reversed. In addition, head is united with hand, hand united with torso, torso united with step. Are these not external unions? Heart is united with eye, liver united with sinew, spleen united with muscle, lungs united with torso, kidneys united with bones. Are these not internal unions? We cannot say there are only six unions, for these particular distinctions are also talked of.
It is always the case that when one part moves, all parts move, and when one part unites, all parts unite. Therein lies the complete functioning of the whole body in all of its parts.
